Ireland: Progress in the Penal System (PIPS) A framework for penal reform (2018)
Progress in the Penal System: 2018 examines Ireland’s progress in the penal system over the last year. PIPS 2017 set out a clear vision for the future of the penal system in Ireland as part of this overall project. Standards were set, guided by international best practice and human rights frameworks. Our vision is that as a small wealthy nation, Ireland can go beyond minimum human rights frameworks and has the potential to be a leading.
The European Commission is preparing a third phase of this programme, therefore COPOLAD will be back at the beginning of 2021.
